I just logged onto YouTube for the first time today, and there's a random number appended to my username. Everyone's usernames, as far as I can see. Does anyone know what that's all about?

People were rightly calling out the fact that the subreddit only had the 48 hour blackout. They seemed really offended by SomeOrdinaryGamers insult of reddit mods... oh well? I discord mod, I don't exist purely on discord I have a life outside that being called out for being a discord mod is just funny banter. Get a thick skin lol

but the reaction was truly magnificent and I want to share it Completely missing the point and deliberately missing the point. Of which "Doing a 48 hour blackout and saying that gives an end time/date to the blackout meaning it really doesn't fucking matter to big-corpo reddit."

Which is correct because u/spez proved that. Anyway Enjoy the meltdown: https://imgur.com/a/xobVK6T

I managed to catch the user that was posting before they banned them from the subreddit. Dude is very obviously terminally online... So embarassing.

Anyway, I'm not going to do what that subreddit admin did. That was an utter abuse of power. Also smile crappy_pirate. You're on lemmy! Welcome.

Update I got banned 🤣

Something that happened a month ago but it gets worse.

There has been a deliberate and sudden attempt to try to completely hide any evidence of shady behaviour by SnailGames with a sudden surge in news.

People are also highly suspect of Ark's positive rating on steam as a lot of those that review the game highly are low hour accounts.

There really isn't a whole lot of proof but it would be interesting to know how often they get positive reviews if it say... Comes in clusters.

https://youtu.be/HtC8LU49bRA I bought Ark when it was on sale. I really do regret it. It was not a very well optimised game. Just ran poorly.

The tl;Dr is there is a clan called Tea on the official servers who were raided by a tribe called the island boys. There were multiple server disconnects on that server as the Tea base was being raided. One player was banned. Early on. Each time the IB clan got into their base the server disconnected and rolled back.

Anyway. SnailGames are bringing out a web 3 blockchain game... So that sums up my feelings on them as a company. Not touching anything SnailGames touches. Wish I got a refund on Ark when I still could.

I couldn't imagine being the kind of person so obsessed with sponsors and that content creator grind to just totally gloss over the fact that you were saved from death on Mount Everest by Sherpas who you didn't even acknowledge...

madness.

Article:

A climber is being slammed online after being saved by a Sherpa from Mount Everest's "danger zone."

Social media users are upset that he chose to thank his sponsors and partners instead of his savior.
He eventually posted multiple thank-you notes to a list of people, including his savior.

A Malaysian climber rescued from certain death on Mount Everest is now being accused on social media of being ungrateful to the Sherpa who saved his life.

The climber, Ravichandran Tharumalingam, was on death's door when he was found on May 18 by the mountain guide Gelje Sherpa and his Chinese client, who were on their way to Everest's summit.

Ravichandran was stuck in the mountain's infamous "death zone," where oxygen is limited, and temperatures can drop below minus 22 degrees Fahrenheit.

Gelje found Ravichandran shivering from the cold, grasping a rope, and with no bottled oxygen, Sherpas, or guides, he later told CNN in an interview.

Other teams climbed past Ravichandran, but Gelje persuaded his client to quit their ascent and attempt to save the stranded climber, he told the outlet.

Wrapping Ravichandran in his sleeping mat and carrying him on his back, Gelje brought the climber down to Everest's Camp 4, where other Sherpas eventually assisted him.

It was a feat in itself — Gelje descended 1,900 feet at extreme altitude in six hours, all while carrying another man.

Upon recovery, Ravichandran returned to Malaysia and went on national TV in early June to speak about the daring rescue. The climber has summitted Everest at least three times, and lost eight fingers to frostbite in 2022.

But when featuring the media appearance in an Instagram post, in which Ravichandran thanked his rescue insurance and partner organizations, he omitted Gelje's name.

"I am alive today, because I had the best and dedicated Partners — The 14th peaks Expedition Co and Global Rescue Ins," he wrote.

Other posts on his Instagram account, in which he advertised a T-shirt, thanked his sponsors, and promoted a Mount Rinjani climb, also did not mention Gelje.

People subsequently flooded Ravichandran's posts with negative comments, blasting him for failing to recognize the Sherpa who carried him solo to Camp 4.

"Hope you'll be donating all profits to the Sherpa who saved you," one commenter wrote.

"You're alive thanks to a sherpa," another wrote.

Twitter users accused Ravichandran of deleting comments that spoke negatively of him.

And on almost all of his recent posts, commenters accused Ravichandran of initially blocking Gelje on Instagram.

Insider could not independently verify this claim. The climber was following Gelje's account as of Monday, and it's unclear if he previously blocked the mountain guide. However, Gelje shared an Instagram story on Tuesday that claimed Ravichandran had blocked him. A screenshot of an Instagram story that Gelje posted which claims Ravichandran had blocked the sherpa and includes a picture of two people walking on the side of Mount Everest. An Instagram story shared by Gelje claimed that Ravichandran had blocked the Sherpa.

Much of the criticism levied against Ravichandran focuses on him reserving his main acknowledgments for the Sherpas working for 14th Peaks Expedition, a climbing-sports company that he is partnered with.

The company 14th Peaks Expedition also took part in the rescue, though its team only reached Ravichandran later — after Gelje had carried the Malaysian to Camp 4 on his own.

Gelje runs the company AGA Adventures and does not work for 14th Peaks Expedition. The company's cofounder, Adriana Brownlee, told Insider that he neither worked with nor for Ravichandran.

After receiving waves of negative comments, Ravichandran eventually acknowledged Gelje in a list of Sherpas who pitched in to rescue him. However, he credited Gelje under his partner organization.

Gelje thanked Ravichandran on Sunday evening for mentioning him in the post. "Thank you, hope you are recovering well," the Sherpa commented.

Gelje has since received an outpouring of support on social media from Malaysians, who have commented on his old posts to thank him for rescuing Ravichandran.

This spring has seen one of Everest's deadliest climbing seasons, with 12 people confirmed dead on expeditions and another five climbers missing.

Insider reached out to Gelje via his company and personal social media for comment on Ravichandran's interactions with him. Brownlee, Gelje's business partner, responded that the Sherpa hoped the situation would "cool off."

When contacted about the online backlash, Ravichandran sent Insider a link to an Instagram video with no further comment. The video features Tashi Lakpa Sherpa, a mountain guide and the founder of 14th Peak Expedition, speaking of Ravichandran's rescue and praising the climber's relationship with his partner Sherpas.

In the clip, Tashi speaks on his phone with an unknown man, who asks him if Ravichandran personally thanked the Sherpas who saved him. Tashi agreed that this happened.

Tashi also said that Ravichandran reached the summit of Everest on May 17 with two of 14th Peaks Expedition's Sherpas, but did not speak further of the guides' exact whereabouts during the rescue.

Ravichandran appeared to suffer from hypothermia during his descent, and 14th Peaks Expedition organized a rescue team, Tashi said. That was when Gelje found Ravichandran, Tashi added.

It's unclear from Tashi's conversation where Ravichandran's original two guides were at the time.

Tashi and Ravichandran did not respond to further requests for comment from Insider.

June 8, 2023: This story was updated to reflect a response from Ravichandran.

Twitch was originally going to bring about a change that would mean people couldn't work with third party sponsors.

It was worded extremely poorly, restricting your ability to how you could advertise on your stream. Disallowing "burned in ads" which are any advertisements you put on OBS, or have pre-recorded and play on your stream.

They restricted how big the ads could be on your screen, only being allowed to cover 3% of your screen.

The way it sounded it could effect people who host charity streams. A lot of people have obs ads for charity streams.

I guess it cements the reminder, Don't trust any platform really. None of them are your friends. Anyway the video is very interesting!

Definitely if you stream on twitch, keep options open and don't rely it on heavily.

This video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgBCnksLt8Q covers a lot about current drama between Iilluminaughtii colleagues and past friends all stemming from the Legal Eagle situation.

Many still assume it is about the Legal Eagle situation, it isn't. Blair Zon has been responsible for allegedly inflicting psychological abuse on ex-friends and former colleagues.

Things could have been left at the Legal Eagle situation but she dug further by exposing a suicide note from one of the SadMilk collaborators called WonderStruck. Who she has now sent a cease and desist letter too. Among countless other things.

Whilst there are things I don't agree with that Wonderstruck posted in his rebuttal like shaming her for clutter, I absolutely despise her for the facade she has been putting on for years.

She had me fooled I'll be frank. Up until a Mr Beast video where she went a little bit mask off during it.

It's honestly a wake up call really, people who preach morality and righteousness at the expense of greedy corporations aren't immune to being shitty people. I think that is what is killing her channel. Everyone who watches her content are people who don't like gas lighting, deceit, shitty behaviour but she is someone who had been engaging in it and it's quite open to see.
